Overview
- NEON launched one-week qualifying engagements on Nov. 14 in New York and Los Angeles, with a wider theatrical release slated for January 2026.
- Ugo Bienvenu’s feature debut presents a hand-drawn contrast between a cloud-top utopia and a 2075 society adapting to extreme weather.
- The story follows a 10-year-old who time-travels to 2075, befriends a local girl named Iris, and searches for the crystal that can send him home.
- The English-language dub features Natalie Portman, Will Ferrell, America Ferrera, Flea, Mark Ruffalo, and Andy Samberg, with Portman also serving as a producer.
- Critics praise the 2D aesthetic and climate themes with comparisons to Studio Ghibli and Mœbius, though one review faults the film’s action for lacking urgency.
